Perfumery-package.



is the same as that of the UNItrmisTATEs" I p citizen of the Umted States, res ding at 'ClillCftQO count'yof Cook, State of Illinois, have made 'a' pertain new and useful Invention 'in Petf1'11ne.-ryPaokages, ofwhich theffollowing is a specification.

, This inventionfrelates to perfumery-packages.

The object of the invention is to pr'oduce a Perfumery-p ack'age' which will disclose at a 'ter set forth, as shown in the accompanying drawing, and finally pointed out in the apjars, to contain the per.

pended claims.

In the single view of the accompanying drawing I have shown in elevation a perfumery-package embodying the principles of my invention.

In the preparation of erfumery-pack ages for the market it is the custom to employ transparent vessels,-such as glass bottles or perfume, especially where w the erfunie is inliquid form. IVhen the bott e, jar, or other vessel containing the perfume is once tightly stoppered or closed, it is impossible to determine the scent or odor of the perfume contained therein without labelin the same or else removing the stophese expedients are objectionable, the former for the reason that sometimes the labels are applied erroneously to the bottles or else are left-off altogether, or if applied become detached or removed therefrom by accident or design, and in any event necessitating'the exercise of care and the cost incident to procuring and applying the label. In the case of the other expedient referred to the removal of the stopper results in escape of the odor of the perfume or the evaporation of the essential oil or other ingredient thereof and theconsequent deterioration of thev erfume. In order to over'come'and avoid t ese anddbl-in "steam, er-i-io oFFIoE.

other' o'b j ectio'ns and; produce a'perfumery ive inappeznan'cc" and which will disclose visually and at a glance the charactenscent, or od or of"the' perfumecontained in the package, I'have conceived the idea of placing 5 within the package, bottle, j ar,or othervese scl containing the perfume-a natural flower 'or a spring or spray therefrom of the same character {that of the essence or odor of the l perfume contained in such bottle'or vessel.

reference-sign A designates a bottle designed to contain" the perfume. The particular character, size, or shape of bottle is unimportant, and it is obvious that instead of a bottle a jar or other vessel may be ememploy a transparent vessel, such as a glass bottle. v

B designates a natural flower placed within the vessel, in this instance a carnation, thereby subtly suggesting and at a glance that the character, scent, or odor of the per- 1 fume contained in the vessel is carnation. Of course it is to be understood that other ing to the character; scent, or odor of the perfume. For instance, if the scent or odor of the perfume is rose then a natural rose is to be placed within'the ves'selin accordance of the scentor odor of lilies of the valley, then natural sprigs or sprays of this flower will be used, and so on. The alcohol or other constituent of the perfume preserves the flower in its natural shape, and except for the bleaching cfi'ect thereonin its natural state as welhand when I refer herein to the flowers being maintained in their natural state I desire to be understood as meaning the natural shape of the flower and the natural condition thereof, except for such bleaching as may occur. Where a liquid perfume is employed, the natural flower is placed within the vessel. and may or may not be completely immersed in such liquid and will retai-n its natural shape and state, as above explained, as long as the vessel contains any ofthe perfume or any of the scent or odor thereof. The [lower may be either a fullgrown flower or it may be merely a loud, and

natural flowers are to be employed, accord:

with my invention. If the perfume is to be package which issimple', neat, and attractmay or may not in some or any degree en- IIO semithat -Iv provide an exceedingly simple and yet neat-and attractive erfumery-pack age wherein the 'visual disp aY ofanatural flower within suchackage and at once delicately associates t 1e character of the scent or odor with the associated flower. 7

Having now set forth the object and nature of my invention and a construction and arrangement embodyin the same, What I claim as new and usefu and of my 0Wn'in vention, and desire to secure by Letters Patcnt, is

1. A new article of manufacture, a periumerv-package containing therein a naturalflower, for the pu ose set forth.

2. As a new article. of manufacture, a per fumery ackage comprising a transparent.

yessel'a apted to contain perfume and havmg therein a natural flower.

3. Asa new article of manufacture, a per fumeryackage comprising a transparent vessel a apted tocontain a liquid perfume and a flower, having an odor correspomling in said vessel an maintained therein in its.

natural shape, said flower having a natural odor corresponding to that ofthe perfume.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specificatiomin the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 2d day of April, A D.'1906.
